Stuart Sim and I decided to. bring-goit cluts and an excess of golf balls for a few rounds’ of golf on the tevs. Well finally Friday night: came“and we ‘assembled in an unorderly - rabble at the railway station. After’°a short “bus trip and an. even’ shorter wander, we eventually spent’ ‘the’ ‘night at Donneily PUEt e, Morning was: ‘broken ‘py the sound of uhcoordinated trampors whacking golf. balls and divits about ‘the campsite. The iorge group finally departed’ at a‘lIeisurély hour ‘and > plodded up ctreas and up a pleasant ridge. The weather:was a mild blizzard ard shorts were’ worn by a cunning cold person all the way to Powell Huts wnere we collapsed on the luxurious mattresses. The snow fell 1: ghtly as & few grubby so and so's indulged in the reading of a smutty: ‘book © on one of the. top bunks (I was not involved of course). The next morning was eold,.wet and miserable. Visibility was ‘minimal through’ ‘the murk as we set out from the hut. 48 couple of pleasant hours later we were sitting in front of = fire at Holdsworth Lodge golf clubs intact.
